Steps Together @ Steeplechase

ABOUT

The Steps Together united walking/running team was the very first fundraiser that started our organization. Every year we endorse local beneficiaries and create a united walking and running team to raise funds on their behalf. In 2018, our team will participate in the Steeplechase Distance Walk & Run on September 30th in Hillsborough, NJ. Our team will be raising funds for local families impacted by a medical crisis while also supporting the Cancer Center @ RWJ-Somerset by participating in their race. Event options include a 2 Mile Walk, 5K, 10K or Sprints for Kids 2 to 11.

TRAINING INFO

Bill Mather offers training every Sunday mornings year round! All levels welcome, this is a 1-hour out and back where everyone goes at their own pace. One hour meaning we start and end with a group picture, you don’t really need to run or walk for an hour. For more info on Sunday mornings, please email Bill. You can also run the Miles for Steps Together Facebook Group as he updates it every Saturday night with his Sunday morning plan. It’s also a fun place to share workouts, ask questions and plan other meet ups.

We should mention that Bill Mather found a new Irish friend while running on Saturday mornings.

Starting on Saturday, August 18th, at 9 AM, his buddy is launching PARKRUN from our favorite starting point (Lot F in Colonial Park). It’s an international program, gathering runners and walkers of all levels to run a timed 5K every weekend in a park (in this case, the tow path). Seems kind of cool.

FUNDRAISING INFO
